I cannot imagine trying to do DPDK I/O development in any sort of IaaS. Aren’t you going to have to physically mess around with the cables and Traffic generators all the time? It seems like it would be extremely hard to find one company that offers the NICs you want to test.
- scrubs 5y agoThank you for the response but not sure we're on the same page. All I would need is two Xeon boxes with COTS NICs on the same subnet. Having hosted bare metal boxes alleviates me from dealing with cables etc.. As for traffic generators ... I have no need for those. The apps I have in mind will form a distributed system and do their own TX/RX.
- egberts1 5y agoBeen there, done that: remote DPDK development. It was for a owner-inserted trading box near a fin-DC (Finance data center). Has a DPDK NIC. But it did required your own upfront cost for all the components prior to walk-in. Learned a bit about data center-specific network protocols remotely. At the time, AMD was chosen over Intel due to not wanting CPU L2 cache being shared by two CPUs.
